	While historically most bucklers were round, [[SCA]] fencers have developed a number of other shapes and innovations. Most common of those adaptations are other shapes such as square, rectangular and [[kite shield]]s.

	Of the shields ''per se'', it is probably the lightest, and easiest to move about.

It also allows for a quite vicious back-hand rim-blow which could break the nose.		Of the shields ''per se'', it is probably the lightest, and easiest to move about.
